Description
The National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research (NIDCR) intends to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) to promote practice-based research through a Dental Primary Care Practice-Based Research Network (PBRN). This NOFO will invite applications for an Administrative and Resource Center (ARC) to support infrastructure for planning and implementing multiple observational studies and clinical trials. The ARC will recruit and retain practitioners, manage a single IRB, provide research and study-specific training, and coordinate study deployment across multiple U.S. geographic regions. Applications are not being solicited at this time; the notice allows potential applicants time to develop collaborations and responsive projects. Investigators with expertise in study coordination and clinical research in practice-based settings are encouraged to apply.
